This penultimate day, marked by a morning storm that has forced a deferral on the ground and by the strong wind from the second test, is recorded between 10- 12 knots of intensity on a axis of 060º. The important turn in the provisional general has also been another highlight of this fifth delivery in the RCN of Valencia.

The brothers Mateo and Simon Codoñer (RCN Valencia) have taken a giant step in their goal of getting the title. The Valencian tandem, with partials today of 4-11-1, add 44 points in the general, also treasure the first square sub17. They have everything in their favor and it only depends on themselves to be champions in the absence of a day and only three tests on the agenda.

In the back, with the provisional silver, the French Keo Devaux and Enael Rio are placed who have not had a good start and that very discreet 33 in the first test of the day drove them away from the podium options at that time. They fixed it in the second with a working and deserved 10th place, ending at the end of the day with a 14. They stay 5 points from the Codoñer.

Bronze is for the Danes Jens- Christian and Jens- Philip Dehn- Toftehoj who, like the French, have offered a good image and a not so good one. In the first of the day they signed a fifth square, in the second they signed one of their best tests in València, achieving a partial triumph. The cross for them reached the last battle of the day, falling to position 38 with 51 points, only 2 of silver and 7 of gold.

They also go up Quicorras Urios and Filippo Benetti (RCN Valencia) and even if it is only one post, they now place rooms with 52 points. With numbers today of 11-18-2 are left with 52 points and mathematics still makes them dream of the title. The Spanish-Italian tandem is located 1 point from bronze, 3 from silver and 8 from gold.

The Maltese, located in the yellow, have signed 3-7 partial, which leaves them with 12 points occupying the 10th place of the provisional general, although they are tied with the same points with three other crews: Jens-Christian and Jens-Philip Dehn-Toftehoj (Denmark) in the 8th place, followed by Ben Mueller and Sam Webb (Britain) and Simon Karlemo and Lasse Lindell (Finland), the 11th position.
